Abstract
Guided by the communication infrastructure theory, this study scrutinizes the role of various actors in a vulnerable community’s storytelling network amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Situated against the Indonesian migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong, the interview data with 31 participants revealed that the connections to interpersonal communication, community organizations, and local media offered necessary social supports to cope with the health crisis. However, these relationships also yielded several negative consequences.
